PRESS RELEASE
With an exhibition text by MARTIN JAEGGI
Artericambi Gallery is pleased to announce Continuously Expanding Polygon, Kilian Schoenenberger’s first solo exhibition in Italy, exploring the relationship between image, matter, and transformation through a process of continuous transposition between the real and the digital.
Starting from a photograph of sunlight reflected on water, taken by the artist, a process of image transformation unfolds: the entire range of brightness values is extracted and converted into a three-dimensional digital mapping, which is then translated into a series of works produced across different media, from drawing to 3D printing, from milled aluminium to sculpture and video.
Through this process of decontextualization, subtraction, and distortion, Schoenenberger constructs a constellation of works in which forms and colors return as visual echoes, questioning the nature of the image and the possibilities for transforming matter in the transition between the tangible world and the digital realm.
The exhibition will open on Saturday, September 12, from 4:00 pm to 8:00 pm, and will remain on view until Saturday, December 12, 2026.
BIOGRAPHY
Kilian Schoenenberger (2002) was born in Burgdorf, Bern and studied Fine Arts in Zurich, Switzerland. As part of this program, he spent half a year in New York City at the School of Visual Arts. He is currently continuing his education in Physics at the University of Zurich motivated by a desire to further explore the interplay between the two disciplines.
He has presented his work in exhibitions and projects in Zurich, New York, Berlin, and other venues across Switzerland, including Open Studios (New York, 2023), Diploma Show (Zurich, 2024), [protrusions] at Nellimya Arthouse, Aranno (2025), Born and Absorbed at the function, Zurich (2025), and Dada Nu at Theater am Gleis, Zurich (2025), where the work remains installed. In 2022, he received the Kunst am Bau award for the project Map, as well as the award for the international Oneness Project competition for Generations.
